The Story Behind This Book

I went on vacation with my then 21 year-old-daughter who happened to bring along James Frey's A Million Little Pieces for me to read. Frey's novel moved me and I could relate to his story but I couldn't help thinking when girls get out of control drinking, they have other things to worry about. I decided to put my own story down on paper because I felt my experiences might help other females realize they are not alone. I am saddened when I see kids killing themselves over their sexuality. Society needs to change and stop discriminating against those people that find they are somewhere in the middle of traditional male and female.

Praise and Reviews

Lynn Pritchett, from Associated content says, "Most anyone can relate to this book, because no one is perfect emotionally, spiritually, or physically, whether living with birth defects or not. Anyone with an open heart and open mind can relate to K.C.'s story on some level, and it is written in an easy-to-read format with short chapters.

Using my book review rating scale of the lowest at #1 (Don't bother), and up to the highest at #5 (Something for everyone in this book), Bad Girl Gone Mom earns a solid #4 rating. A very few group of people may be offended by the brief scatterings of raw language, but overall this book is a must read.

Additionally, this book is a great resource to medical professionals and students in medical school programs like child and family psychiatry, genital surgery, gynecology, and more. In liberal arts colleges, this is a remarkable textbook or supplemental reading for psychology, social work, and other appropriate areas of study, regarding gender identity disorders."
